Thanks, I am really proud of the concept and that it came out halfway decent.

I finally have this in a state to show off After years of dreaming of it I now have my Infinity Stones display wired to a single switch. My original plan was to have the stones on a wall surrounding a Captain America shield but as I started collecting them I saw how nice thy looked on a shelf...

The one end of the strap on my Eye of Agamotto (from Gmasking) has fallen out of it's position and the other side is getting frayed. I never liked the strap to begin with and would live to replace it but I'm not sure where to get a new strap or the best way to secure it. Has anyone come across...

I think a person can actually make functioning eyes for a replica costume, but it's gonna take a someone with serious eye for engineering. I'm picturing a pulley system, as TheseusPro there are several slides that move to make the iris. Now where the "eye for engineering" comes into play...

Yeah I lebelieve he even had his own miniseries a few years back Thanks

I've had a few ideas for costumes that I'll never get to do mainly because of time/money/talent. There was one inspired by The Wolverine costume seen in the alternate ending: Which I then used to make as the basis for an MCU X-Men design: I also recently made a concept for the MCU Wasp in...

This is awesome. I had a similar idea to use t-shirts years ago and it's great to see someone make such a successful costume with that idea. Great Job.

Okay, I plan on painting this weekend so I just read through the entire thread. I just have a few questions. I don't think I have the time to build a rack to hold the shield vertically, so I'm thinking of clamping a rod to a weighted table and sticking the rod through the hole in the blank...

I would like to know hoe you would describe the curve of the shield to a metal spinning service?

Thanks, this is really helpful. There are a few metal spinning places around me that I wanted to get a quote from. I'd like to keep costs down so If I could avoid shipping and handling charges, or maybe even get a better price, that would be great. That's why I wanted to know how best to...

I want to try an make my own shield but I have a few questions that I don't think I've seen yet. When trying to get a quote for a blank shield, is there anything I need to describe to them such as the curve of the shield, the type of groove, or how the edges of it should be? Also any tips on...

That template in this thread is all I have digitally, the rest where made by hand and lost somewhere in a pile of junk.

Actually what I did was print out the file and assemble it with paper just to check the sizing. Then I just cut it apart and flatten it out as best as I can. I actually used regular paper and scotch tape when putting together the test since it was just to see if it fits. Just keep in mind that...

I went ahead an tried making the cowl. I liked the result though I felt that there was too many lines so I simplified it on my own and tried it again here's the result. To make easier to get it on and off I added some velco at the chin and some foam to cover it. Now it comes on and off very...
